"A beautifully measured novel of life and line." --New York Times Book Review

The Crossover is now a graphic novel!

"With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . . The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. 'Cuz tonight I'm delivering," raps twelve-year-old Josh Bell. Thanks to their dad, he and his twin brother, Jordan, are kings on the court. But Josh has more than basketball in his blood--he's got mad beats, too, which help him find his rhythm when it's all on the line.

See the Bell family in a whole new light through Dawud Anyabwile's dynamic illustrations as the brothers' winning season unfolds, and the world as they know it begins to change.

Streaming series coming soon on Disney+, with executive producers including NBA great LeBron James!

Customer Reviews

For the kids that like basketball.

I read this book with my grandson, and he explained what the basketball terminology meant. It was a wonderful way to engage and connect with the story and with my grandson. We both enjoyed this book. Kids that like sports will enjoy reading this book.
